But this joy didn’t last long.
Mu Shuangshuang’s eldest aunt, Mu Xianxian, jumped out and started scolding Mu Shuangshuang and Liu Zian.
"Oh wow, so that’s why Liu Zian refused the marriage with my daughter Miaomiao, it’s you, you wicked girl behind it all. You miserable wretch, you even snatched your cousin’s man!"
"Aunt, you are really deaf. Shuangshuang already said last ti, your daughter Miaomiao’s matter with Liu Zian has nothing to do with . Whether Miaomiao gets married isn’t decided by , and certainly not by you, it has to be Liu Zian’s decision!"
"How dare you call deaf?" Mu Xianxian put her hand on her hip, looking like she was ready to fight.
"You’re already like this and not deaf? I’ve said it so many tis. Can you stop asking the sa thing over and over?" Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes.
Mu Shuangshuang felt that whenever she encountered people from the Old Mu Family, nothing good ever happened.
Coming right up and throwing dung at !
"You wicked girl, how dare you talk to like that!"
After not seeing each other for a while, Mu Xianxian had grown increasingly plump. Perhaps due to the hot weather, she had inexplicable red pimples on her face.
Those pimples grew near her mouth, and when she talked, the pimples kept moving, which was ridiculously hilarious.
But the most ridiculous thing was her talking about Miaomiao; when Mu Shuangshuang saw, she almost got scared to death.
The Miaomiao in Mu Xianxian’s mouth was at most around one ter and fifty centiters tall, but her figure was nothing to be proud of.
Nothing but fat, it was all fat.
Her waist was thicker than her uncle’s, with that kind of look, could Liu Zian fancy her?
Obviously not.
Cao Miaomiao, hearing Mu Xianxian call Liu Zian’s na, glanced at Liu Zian’s lean physique and quickly shook her head.
"Mom, I don’t want him, he’s so thin, so ugly!"
"..."
Cao Miaomiao’s words made Mu Shuangshuang burst into laughter.
Liu Zian ugly? He’s definitely got the face of a handso man, plus he’s a scholar, he hasn’t done hard labor, isn’t this the standard physique?
"Miaomiao, what are you saying, Liu Zian is the top scholar, he’ll pass the exam and beco a big official in the future." Mu Xianxian whispered a sentence, she couldn’t bear to scold her daughter, after all, raising a daughter was really not easy.
Cao Miaomiao ignored Mu Xianxian’s words and instead fixed her gaze on Lu Yuanfeng.
As soon as she saw Lu Yuanfeng, Cao Miaomiao began to drool.
Lu Yuanfeng was tall, well-built, and on top of that, had handso features, Cao Miaomiao pointed: "I want him, he’s good-looking."
Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t sit still at this.
To think you can lay a finger on my man just like that? You’re way out of line!
"Just because you say you want him, doesn’t an he’s yours. Please have a look at yourself in the mirror, the way you are, a man would want to avoid you by three steps if not a hundred!"
Mu Shuangshuang always had a sharp tongue. Whoever dared to covet her, she would give an even sharper tongue lashing!
"You..." Cao Miaomiao was furious, turned and cried to Mu Xianxian: "Mom, look at this nasty girl, she’s bullying ..."
Cao Miaomiao said as she stomped heavily on the ground, making "thump thump thump" sounds which scared Mu Shuangshuang back two steps.
Oh my, are we having an earthquake?
Mu Xianxian hugged Cao Miaomiao, comforting her, instantly reminding Mu Shuangshuang of when Old Mrs. Mu comforted Mu Xiangxiang, always calling her "my dear".
Oh, curse these people, they really are one family, doing the sa damn thing.
Spoiled daughters, spoiled beyond limits!
"Miaomiao darling, what’s so good about this dirt poor boy, no land, no money, listen to mom, be with Liu Zian, beco an official’s wife, want anything, there’s nothing missing!"
Mu Shuangshuang wasn’t happy. So what if he has no land, he still wouldn’t fancy your daughter!
"Aunt, please don’t self-delude yourself, alright? Fengzi doesn’t fancy your daughter, and Liu Zian doesn’t want your daughter either. Why do you need to flatter yourself?"
Mu Xianxian was still trying hard to persuade Cao Miaomiao to want Liu Zian, so she ignored Mu Shuangshuang’s words.
Cao Miaomiao cried while shaking her head. "No, no, he’s thinner than a chicken, I don’t want..."
Aside, Liu Zian’s face turned black, back then when he heard soone would give him money for the exams in exchange for marrying into their family, he refused right away.
Liu Zian was not a person who would sell himself for money.
"Aunt Mu, I’ve made it clear from the start, I, Liu Zian, will not marry into any family or marry soone I don’t like."
"Liu Zian, have you been chard by this nasty girl? Puffing up your face now won’t do you any good, aren’t you still looking for work in town to make so money? If you kneel down today and beg , marry my daughter, I’ll give you money for the exams, what do you say?"
Mu Xianxian remained concerned about Liu Zian, after taking fifty taels of silver from Mu Dade, though she still had the IOU, she was unlikely to get it back.
Her brother’s situation showed he wasn’t ant to be an official.
Might as well end up as a laborer.
But Liu Zian was different, his family was poor, he was the top scholar in the town, and she even consulted soone who said Liu Zian had a good fate, destined for officialdom.
Just happened that his fate matched her daughter Miaomiao’s.
Liu Zian choked with anger in his throat, unable to speak for a long ti.
Being a scholar, he couldn’t utter the dirty words from Mu Xianxian’s mouth, nor could he be as straightforward as Mu Shuangshuang, knowing how to verbally counter Mu Xianxian.
"No need to worry, Aunt, I’ve already secured the funds for the exams."
Liu Zian’s words, Mu Xianxian obviously didn’t believe. She had already inquired about Liu Zian’s family situation, his parents had been drained dry from funding his education over the years, and they had many poor relatives, who would lend him money?
"Liu Zian, a real man knows when to bend or straighten. Why not admit that you have no money? Do you want to see your parents worried sick and their hair turning gray for your exams?"
"Do you want them, at their age, unable to eat or sleep for your exam funds?"
"I, Mu Xianxian, am giving you a chance, understand? Beco Old Cao’s house son-in-law, with good food and drink, buy whatever you want!"
"Do whatever you wish, but I have one condition, you must sever all ties with this nasty girl, otherwise don’t even think about stepping into Old Cao’s house."
Mu Xianxian spoke a long paragraph, not lacking insults against Mu Shuangshuang, causing Lu Yuanfeng to shout angrily: "Enough, Mu Family Aunt, you speak insultingly toward Shuangshuang, Shuangshuang hasn’t said a word, don’t you feel ashad being an elder?"
Lu Yuanfeng coldly kept Shuangshuang as she stood behind him, directly confronting Mu Xianxian with his gaze.
If not for the fact the person in front was a woman, and the aunt of the Old Mu Family, Lu Yuanfeng would’ve slapped down hard on her.
